it aint like riding a dirt bike...like quads, you cant move them in the air. Once you hit the jump, your take off is based on your landing, so if you do a crappy take off, expect to wipe when you land...

Your front to back can be adjusted pretty easy in the air, But there is not alot of room for error in the side tilt area. I have had problymns in hitting the jump a little off to the side and the landings get a little goofy but if you hit it straight, good to go!!!

What I am scared about with jumping is that I broke the frame on my 83 250R when I weighed 140lbs on this sweet jump, now I am closer to 190, will my frame last?

I always jumps my 85 250r trike, far and high too, I'll post a link to a pic. I have a 88 elka rear shock w/ adj. strut, rebuilt forks w/ progessive spring and 15wt oil and it lands awesome, my 86 200x, can't say so. I've cleared 40ft tabletops and come real close on 50's, with the 330, probably can clear a 50 with much problems
